Robert De Niro Establishes Firm Conditions Prior to Marrying Tiffany Chen

 Robert De Niro appears to be preparing for another chapter in his life, potentially settling down with his longtime girlfriend, Tiffany Chen. 

At 81, the acclaimed actor and director is reportedly being urged by Tiffany—who is also the mother of his youngest child—to take the next step and get married. However, before any vows are exchanged, she must agree to his prenuptial terms.

Tiffany Chen, 46, a martial arts instructor and actress, gave birth to their daughter, Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro, in April 2023. Since then, she has been eager to formalize their relationship through marriage. Sources close to the couple say she has been advocating for it ever since their child was born.

Those familiar with the situation reveal that Tiffany has repeatedly brought up marriage in conversations, and while De Niro is fully aware of her wishes, he's proceeding cautiously. Insiders claim he’s made it clear that any wedding plans hinge on her accepting a prenuptial agreement, which he sees as a non-negotiable safeguard.

Despite his affection for Tiffany and their family, De Niro remains hesitant about marriage itself. He’s reportedly worried that making things official could somehow disrupt the balance they currently enjoy. According to those close to him, once De Niro makes a decision, he rarely changes his mind.

De Niro's reluctance may stem from past experiences. He has already faced costly separations from two former wives, as well as a legal battle with a former assistant. These events seem to have prompted him to be more protective of his estimated $500 million fortune moving forward.
